Where it sits
2.7°N, 101.7°E puts KUL in the northern hemisphere, 305 km from the equator and 9,702 km from the North pole.
Of the 661 airports on this site it is the 508th most northerly, which makes it the 154th most southerly.
Straight through the middle
Straight down through the centre of the Earth comes out at 2.7°S, 78.3°W — 79 km from Mariscal Lamar (CUE) in Ecuador, which is about as close to a true antipodal airport pair as this table gets.
What’s near it
The closest other airport on this site is Sultan Abdul Aziz Shah (SZB), 46 km away in a straight line. It is the only one within 100 km.
What’s on this page, and what isn’t
Every figure here is computed from the airport’s coordinates and the rest of the table — distances, bearings, ranks, the antipode. Nothing is written by hand, so nothing on it is a half-remembered fact about a terminal that was rebuilt in 2019.
Which also means what you won’t find: no passenger figures, no terminal maps, no airline lists, no live departures. Orbit is a logbook, not a flight tracker, and a page that invented those would be worse than one that leaves them out.
